I have a sneak peek for you today from the upcoming Holiday catalog. The Late Night Stampers challenge this round is Fancy Fold cards so I have incorporated the sneak peel with a fancy fold for you today.

﻿

I scored my card stock at 5 1/2" and 2 1/4" and folded it into a Z. You could do another slightly different version of this fold by scoring at 5 1/2" and 2 3/4"...

I added some Magnificent Maple images with Baked Brown Sugar classic ink and some Sweater Weather Designer Series paper on the panels that don't really show much.

A little 1 1/4" burlap ribbon and a few more images from Truly Grateful and the card is complete...but wait...

I thought I would add an envelope liner to complete the card.

Supplies:

Truly Grateful, Magnificent Maple stamp sets

Baked Brown Sugar classic ink

So Saffron, Baked Brown Sugar, Very Vanilla and Early Espresso card stock

They've been called flip cards, flip flop cards, swing cards, and more-but
they have always been a bit tricky to create. Not anymore! Our amazing new
Thinlits Card Dies cut and score to create a card that flips in just one step.

There are some products you just have to see in action before you realize how
much you need them, right? This is one of them! I was able to see them demonstrated at Convention and I can't wait to purchase them!

These new card dies come with extra die pieces that have versatile designs,
so you can use them on other projects, not just flip cards. (The Circle Card
Thinlits Die comes with 10 total pieces; the Label Card Thinlits Die comes with
nine total pieces.)

Paper, paper, paper, I love the designs in so many of the designer series paper sets like I always do and love to play around with them. In this set, I used the Birthday Basics dsp and Sketched birthdays stamp set.

﻿

I think the color combination in this paper set is just awesome too - Crisp Cantaloupe is quickly becoming one of my go to colors.

I just spent some time looking through some project photos searching for my convention swap cards...I don't think I took any photos of them, LOL! Well, I will find a way to share them with you sometime.

Instead I found this one tucked away in a file and I am pretty sure I haven't shared it yet.

﻿

I swiped my Very Vanilla card stock with my Pool Party ink pad and then stamped my sentiment with Soft Suede ink over the top.

A couple strips of card stock and one of dsp, an Antique brad and it is good to go!

I tried to take a photo that would show the excitement in the room and the fact that there were so many (6000) of us, but I couldn't do it justice. ﻿

Ryan who was a contestant on The Voice sang the Be The Difference theme song to open the convention.

One of the props on stage...

The first card I found on the boards - it was actually the tri fold one using the Storytime dsp and they took it apart so there was two pieces on the board.

There were so many great ideas on display and I wanted to share some of them with you. They had the projects placed on the boards so that if you stood a ways away you could read - INSPIRE CREATE SHARE and SHARE WHAT YOU LOVE.
